The driver's silence piqued my curiosity.
After hearing what he said, I was even more puzzled. How could such a small group become so isolated?
Moreover, it was this group of suburban drivers who isolated everyone else.
Isn't this blatantly reducing the size of their business?
Instead of going to crowded places, they're weaving through this maze of alleyways. I have no idea what those drivers are thinking.
At this moment, the older brother seemed speechless.
He seemed unwilling to speak, his head down, his hands gripping the steering wheel.
"They're so unethical! Not only are they monopolizing customers, but they're also playing dirty tricks!"
I quickly sided with the driver and spoke up for him.
Upon hearing this, the driver appeared to be making excuses, somewhat flustered, opening and closing his mouth repeatedly.
But with my gentle persuasion, he slowly began to speak.
"This matter... is not their fault!"
We drivers, although no one's in charge, we all take turns coming here. I'm only here because of my seniority and good relationships with the older drivers..."
No, why aren't they coming even though they have such great conditions?
The more privileged a person is, the less allowed they are to drive here? What kind of logic is that?
I was about to continue guiding the driver when the man in front of me seemed to have nothing left to hide.
Now it was as if the Yellow River's dam had been breached, and the driver began to talk non-stop.
That's when I realized that all their drivers took turns coming here.
The area is divided around this roundabout. The roundabout serves as the boundary, and the area that used to be small has become even smaller due to development in recent years.
However, it's enough for some drivers to support their families.
Most importantly, the profits here are huge!
If you take a taxi here, whether it's a traditional taxi or a cheaper hovercar, the price is basically more than three times that outside.
Holy crap.
When I heard this, my mouth formed a wide grin.
Yiyi was the same; her eyes seemed to tell me that she had never heard of these things before.
No wonder, the girl had only been here a few times, and if I'm not mistaken, he should have been in the main urban area the whole time.
I don't even know if such a small place on the outskirts of the city existed or had been developed when the girl came.
But if that's the case, why hasn't this driver ever been assigned to this spot?
After listening to what the older brother said, I realized that because of his age and because he had a good relationship with his colleagues, they had never asked him to come here before!
What they said was that the environment here was poor and the roads were bumpy, and they didn't want the driver, who was almost retired, to continue to ride on bumpy roads, for fear that he would break apart.
At first, the driver didn't pay much attention to anything, just quietly drove around, and usually had a good relationship with those people.
However, later on, these drivers who drove on the outskirts of the city formed their own small group, which the older brother only learned about by chance.
He was somewhat angry at the time, and if he wanted to keep his distance from me, or if he thought I was too old and inflexible, there was absolutely no need for him to do so.
With just a word, he could immediately avoid enjoying the customer traffic with them.
However, the driver told us that although there are fewer people in this shallow area at night, there are many people during the day, and they can basically get a fare every second.
However, his colleagues said that they not only did not look down on him, but admired his social skills and driving ability even more.
However, there were some things that weren't made clear to him at the beginning.
The area west of this roundabout was separated into another hub for drivers, partly because the terrain there is quite bumpy and underdeveloped.
Another reason is that there have been many murders in the area west of that roundabout.
Moreover, the deaths were all mysterious and unexplained; the people simply disappeared!
The kind that disappears completely!
Hearing this, I couldn't help but shudder.
Holy crap, what's going on here?
I could hardly believe my ears.
Does this mean that all the passengers who were once seated there never returned?
I asked the driver a few questions, but he gave me an even stranger answer.
Not only the passengers, but also the drivers who went to the west of the city perished there!
Some say they got lost and were left behind by some evil people.
What happens after you stay?
They simply peeled off their skin, leaving their souls there forever.
It brought convenience and help to those residents!
I couldn't help but think about it for a moment, and damn, these residents really aren't any good people.
How could someone do something like this? Didn't your local law enforcement officials do anything about it?
This should at least be reported to the relevant authorities.
Moreover, even if there are no official positions or records, the families of drivers on record will definitely come to complain. In this situation, how can we just ignore it?
How could it have been suppressed for so long, even leading to one murder after another?
Thinking about this, I became even more puzzled.
At that moment, I glanced at Yiyi beside me, and her eyes were also filled with fear.
His eyes were telling me that he had never heard of such a thing.
"Master, these villagers are really wicked! How can such people appear in such a godforsaken place!"
Lei Jijian was also sending me a telepathic message; he had long since been unable to hold back his curses.
I can understand Lei Jijian's feelings. Indeed, anyone would be upset in this situation.
A perfectly healthy driver just disappeared without a trace.
However, the driver told me that he also noticed the disappearance and reduction of his companions, until he had not seen his best brother for a long time.
He only learned about this matter after being pressed for details.
However, although it is said to be a villager, this is still a rumor, and it is something that has been passed down by word of mouth.
No one really saw how those people disappeared.
The only thing these missing people had in common was that they had all driven through the alleys inside the roundabout.
But these murders did not stop the drivers; instead, they, driven by speculation or greed, broke the rules and squeezed in one by one!
Many people went inside and never came out again.
However, there are also some people who do not follow the usual driver's schedule to allocate their time in the main urban area and the outskirts.
Instead of running around the main urban area, they quietly slip into the outskirts of the city!
